Portland, Oregon's ANNE follow up their acclaimed 2011 compilation LP Dream Punx (A389 Records) with this brand new two-song 7". Combining ethereal reverb and showgazey ambience with a basement dwelling NEW ORDER-esque rhythm section, ANNE deliver these two tracks with a more structured approach than ever before. The resulting songs carry a dreamy, haunting ambience underlying unforgettable pop hooks. Near perfect in tone, chimey, shimmering guitars echo and decay alongside humming post-punk drumbeats and thumping, dancey basslines. The shape-shifting synthesizers weave varying textures from fuzzed-out drones to warm harmony lines. Perhaps most impressive however is the delicate desperation in the vocal delivery. Sitting high up in the mix, frontman David Lindell delivers barbs like, "We made a suicide pact that you couldn't go through with," with a style and swagger not usually espoused in the genre's traditional vocal stylings. These two new songs are a marked progression, as ANNE will soon be remembered alongside the greats they're being compared to.

BALANCE AND COMPOSURE and TIGERS JAW are two bands that have brought uniqueness to todays ever growing music scene. They have strayed away from styles that have seemed to be overplayed and have offered a fresh new sound for music listeners all over. BALANCE AND COMPOSUREs Only Boundaries was called "Themost memorable 4-song feast of 2009" by absolutepunk. net, and scenepointblank.com raved about TIGERS JAWs Spirit Desire, "Its sincere, its heartfelt, and its excellent."

The young UK band's sophomore LP is also their swan song - Basement has announced an indefinite hiatus following record release shows this winter, and the record burns with the cathartic, confessional urgency of leaving it all on this one last document. The album is the perfect blend of Knapsack-esque midwestern emo and overblown 90s grunge a la Nirvana and Sunny Day Real Estate. "Relentless, they fight their way into your ears and body and you'll be head banging your way through immediately; melodically superb, changes of pace within the song astute, vocally evocative - quality rock music" (Absolutepunk.net)

Nestled away in the UKs quiet, picturesque east coast town of Ipswich, the lads in BASEMENT are conflicted between the comfort of the beautiful familiar and the allure of escape. This duality pervades the bands existence. As frontman Andrew Fishers gravelly, LIFETIME-esque yowl skips and stretches over driving rhythms and poignant guitar melodies, its clear BASEMENT expertly walk the line between the contrast of heartrending emo and gruff post-hardcore. Whether working through a slow, SEAWEED-styled mid-tempo burn of pounding-out driving punk, BASEMENT has a quiet layer of jagged desperation weaving their songs tog ether under the smooth melodic surface. Much like a coming of age, the songs are at once confident and poised while toiling inside and bursting at the seams.

City By The Sea is the debut solo release by Vinnie Caruana, frontman of punk icons, I Am The Avalanche and seminal post-hardcore band The Movelife. These six tracks are stripped down, acoustic arrangements with delicate strings, drums, and percussion. The new songs are more classic addition to Caruana's alreadty classic catalog - uniquely catchy melodies, charming delivery, and irresistible singalongs. For fans of Chuck Ragan! "ETCHED" B-side.

From the First note of "Roam the Room", Youth's massive, towering rock songs bleed emotion through until the tape runs out on album closer "Drawn Out". Ohio natives CITIZEN have captured the ghost of BRAND NEW's "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside of Me" and reinvented brooding, chrosu-driven alternative rock for a new generation. Beautifully harmonized half-shouted vocals along with fuzzy, reverbed-out leads lend weight to the album's mood while also making it impossibly catchy. Following their recent stint as support on MAN OVERBOARD's tour, CITIZEN will play all of the 2013 Van's Warped Tour, poising them to become one of the biggest alternative bands on the road today. For fans of BRAND NEW, TITLE FIGHT, BALANCE & COMPOSURE. 1,000 copies on RED/WHITE or BLUE vinyl. Comes with download codes.

Further Out, the anticipated debut full length from the reclusive Indiana trio Cloakroom, can be defined best as an exploratory sonic mission. From the albums opener, "Paperweight," the crushing force of a wall of distorted bass and pounding drumming collapses to uncover the airy, reverb-soaked vocals of guitarist Doyle Martin, whos carrying a sullen burden that seems just as weighed down. From the headbanging heaviness of "Moon Funeral" to the ethereal moments of songs like "Starchild Skull" and Mesmer," Cloakrooms output is the end result of researching seemingly dissimilar elements like atmospheric post-rock, punishingly slow stoner metal, and cathartic emo and how their best qualities can work into a final, organic sound, masterfully navigated by the expert and completely analog production of Matt Talbot. Further Out boasts the timelessness of a classic record: it is expansive and exploratory while still reflective and referential to the astral tendencies of predecessors like Hum and Jesu. Further Out, available now in two easy volumes.

Cloakroom is a brand new musical entity conceived in the harsh rurals of north west Indiana. Doyle Martin, of disbanded pop punkers Grown Ups collaborated with drummer Brian Busch and fellow native Robert Merkoff. Despie the frantic, fast-paced nature of their other acts, Cloakroom rarely touches on it's member's previous work. Instead they are found channeling the visceral vocals of David Bazan (Pedro the Lion), laid over quiet ethereal guitar hums that slowly grow into pounding walls of sound, at times bringing to mind a more stoned, yet delicate JESU. For fans of WARNING, JESU, MOGWAI, PEDRO THE LION. Translucent Green and standard black vinyl, with download codes.

Long Island's rich musical history has helped to shape a generation of indie, punk and rock music. Both a product of that environment and a contributor to it's next chapter, Coasta craft brooding, atmospheric pop-rock songs akin to Nada Surf, Radiohead, circa "The Bends", and Wilco. Featuring the three-piece lineup of Jamey Lacey, Steve Kupillas and Chris Lorenz, Coasta's 5-song debut LP blends a diversity of styles, from the folk-y, solem track "The Slide" to the dense, haunting mid-tempo rocker "Sunzal" all while plying the subtle influence from many of Long Island's greats. For fans of BRAND NEW, NADA SURF, WILCO. Comes on white or clear red vinyl with download codes.

Creative Adult comes from the musically diverse breeding ground of the North Bay Area hardcore/punk scene. This new single takes the band further down the vibing, manic path of their debut and wanders further into flourishes of contemplative, effects-laden post-punk. These four writhing bursts are akin to an acid-fueled paranoia grafted together with the spastic energy of garage greats like MC5 and the Murder City Devils. For fans of Fucked Up, Joy Division, Scratch Acid, and Murder City Devils. Clear and black vinyl, includes download codes.

Creative Adult's style of fuzzed out, dark, noisy psychedelic post-punk led them to to Montreal, QC where they recorded their debut full-length /Psychic Mess'. Engineered and produced by Efrim Menuck of Godspeed You! Black Emperor at Hotel 2 Tango Studios in Montreal, the band returned with a dramatic punk rock record. Infused with psychedelic haze and dark goth-rock calling to mind bands like Bauhaus, Fugazi, Sonic Youth and Scratch Acid. Not for the faint of heart, Psychic Mess is a reminder things can still be crazy and nothing is ever chill.

Daylight spent the past few years honing their grunge buzzing, and desperate sad sound across four EP's, showcasing and perfecting a talent for writing both jarringly heavy and delicately emotional songs. With high-anticipation, the Pennsylvania four-piece deliver JAR, their debut full-length! Engineer & producer Will Yip's massive production knocks you on your ass from the very first drum hit and snarling guitar riff. The stadium-sound drums, plus pulsing bass and walls of buzzsaw guitars are all mixed with the size and clarity of major label grunge breakthrough records like Nirvana's Nevermind and Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream. Daylight have delivered a towering rock record and an early contender for album of the year. Run for Cover is very proud! For fans of NIRVANA, MUDHONEY, SOUNDGARDEN, TITLE FIGHT, & FOO FIGHTERS.
